With Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis on its doorstep, it’s hard to tell that this Baronial building was built less than 30 years ago. The Museum of Religious Life is a great place to stop and reflect on the city’s multi-religious identity among totems of all of the world’s great religions. A walk through the museum allows you to explore the importance of belief systems in shaping the lives and cultures of people across the world. In one of the few museums in the world devoted entirely to the subject of religion, a Nigerian tribal screen sits alongside a dancing Shiva, Buddha statues and ornate stained-glass windows. Pop down to the café afterwards by way of the Zen garden for soups, sandwiches, and hearty dishes from home and abroad ranging from traditional stovies to a decent Thai chicken curry.
